Divide, in its simplest form, means to divide into two or more equivalent portions, spaces, groups, or divisions. Divide, in plain English, means to provide the entire thing to a group in equal portions or to divide it into equal pieces. Let's say a square is divided into two triangles with equal areas by a diagonal. A division operation may or may not provide an integer as the outcome. The outcome may occasionally take the form of decimal numbers.
The error is that 9 shouldnt be written as nine it should be written as 3x3 or 3^2. So the answer should be 2^3 x 3^2 because 9 can be divided into even more prime factors of 72.
